I know we have some aeronautical buffs on the site. Any of you attending AirVenture this year? Barthmobilers are welcome to stay at our place for the week. We are 4 miles from the airfield and have plenty of space and power available.

You're more than welcome to stay with us in 2012 Lee!We usually stay in ours for the week and rent out the rooms in the house. We are just south of the airfield, nice quiet country setting, right on the approach to RWY 36.

Does Paul still have the P1 Mustang? I havent been to Whitman field for the EAA fly-in in a LONG time but there were certainly some beautiful homemades there back then.... And the town was a BLAST !!! We used to camp next to the plane in the infield but staying in the Barth that close would sure be impressive....

Tom: We MAY have our Barth by the fly-in. If so I'll let you know and perhaps we can make it.

I used to fly a Cherokee Six and later an Aztec, each with 5 paying passengers to the event 3 times during that week (IFR). Often we'd be the "first arrival" 'cause I'd ask for a Hold at 3,000 ft. right over the airport waiting for the fog to lift and simply asked the Tower to let me know when the field came up to minimums.

That was back when the SST was doing touch-and-goes and Pappy Boyington was selling his book in a nice cool building while the Japanese pilot who shot him down was out in the field under a small canopy selling his book as to how he did it.

OMG..AirVenture! The last time I was there it was still Oshkosh. We flew in a Comanche 180 and camped on the field...94 maybe? I would love to fly in again in my 68 Cessna 172 but it is a bit primitive camping on the field. Staying nearby in Barth would be sweet! I wish I'd known sooner cause I'm tied up that week this year, but 2012 might have to be a Barth/Airventure GTG. I won't tell anybody who doesn't have a Barth!

If you get to this side of Lake Michigan stop by and see us. Near Traverse city and great scenery in the plane.
